If you like indie-electronica bands then I have a real winner for you.

Breton is back with their second album 'War Room Stories' and it's quite an ambitious record. Filled with slick beats , cool vocals and ambient textures 'War Room Stories' grabs your attention from the moment you hit play on the first track and never lets go. Loads of fun and outstanding from start to finish. (I even heard some steel drums in there...trust me on this....it's REALLY GOOD!)

I found this in my in box the other day. As I listened, my jaw hit the floor. The sheer amount of styles and influences in one album blew me away. Not to mention the fact that it is flawlessly executed to boot!

Cosmo is the world’s leading female audiophile DJ, producer and Cosmodelica radio host, as well as co-founder of new audiophile listening experience Classic Album Sundays and Gary Lucas, “one of the best and most original guitarists in America” (Rolling Stone), played guitar with Captain Beefheart and is a former Jeff Buckley collaborator and co-writer of “Grace” who currently records with his Gods & Monsters outfit.

'Lucid' is the newest release from the very talented guitarist Matt Stevens. His guitar work here is some of the best I have heard in years. I would be amazed if several of these tracks didn't make it on to a movie soundtrack sometime soon.

The album has been titled quite well as 'Lucid' means "expressed clearly" and "bright and luminous" and the album is certainly both! Made of the last three years, Matt has put together a album that sucks you in, surrounds you with emotion and really makes you reflect on life, the universe and everything. Well...at least that's what it's done for me. I've been lost in the album all weekend.
